TomorrowSeeds - Broad Windsor Fava Bean Seeds - 20+ Count - For 2026 Planting Cold Tolerant Summer

Broad Windsor Fava Beans are one of the oldest plants with beginnings in ancient Greece and Rome for its beneficial cover crop properties, capable of fixing 200 lbs. of nitrogen per acre to replenish poor and depleted soils. They are cool weather beans, usually planted and harvested earlier than most beans. These plants grow tall, reaching heights of 4 feet or more, and are adorned with lush green leaves and beautiful white flowers. Broad Windsor beans are prized for their large, tender beans. Each long pod contains large oblong beans with a delicious creamy and nutty taste. Try in side dishes, purees, dips, pestos, and spreads for a luxurious taste!
